Background
The STarT-Back-Approach (STarT: Subgroups for Targeted Treatment) was developed in the UK and has demonstrated clinical and cost effectiveness.

Journal Article
El-Faham, M., Wheatcroft-Francklow, K., Price, H., Sayers, J., & Doenhoff, M. (2017). Schistosoma mansoni cercarial elastase (SmCE): differences in immunogenic properties of native and recombinant forms. Parasitology, 144(10), 1356-1364. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0031182017000658

The Schistosoma mansoni cercarial elastase (SmCE) has previously been shown to be poorly immunogenic in mice. However, a minority of mice were able to produce antibodies against SmCE after multiple immunizations with crude preparations containing the...

Socioeconomic Deprivation as Measured by the Index of Multiple Deprivation and Its Association with Low Sex Hormone Binding Globulin in Women. (2017)
Journal Article
Heald, A., Laing, I., McLernon, D. J., Donn, R., Hartland, A. J., Fryer, A. A., & Livingston, M. (2017). Socioeconomic Deprivation as Measured by the Index of Multiple Deprivation and Its Association with Low Sex Hormone Binding Globulin in Women. The Open Biochemistry Journal, 1 - 7. https://doi.org/10.2174/1874091X01711010001

OBJECTIVE: Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is a marker of insulin resistance. Given established links between BMI and socioeconomic disadvantage, we investigated how SHBG varies by index of multiple deprivation (IMD). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS:...

The Stroke Oxygen Study (SO2S) - a multi-center, study to assess whether routine oxygen treatment in the first 72 hours after a stroke improves long-term outcome: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial. (2014)
Journal Article
Roffe, C., Nevatte, T., Crome, P., Gray, R., Sim, J., Pountain, S., …Handy, P. (2014). The Stroke Oxygen Study (SO2S) - a multi-center, study to assess whether routine oxygen treatment in the first 72 hours after a stroke improves long-term outcome: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial. Trials, 15, Article 99. https://doi.org/10.1186/1745-6215-15-99

BACKGROUND: Mild hypoxia is common in stroke patients and may have significant adverse effects on the ischemic brain after stroke. The use of oxygen treatment is rapidly increasing in European stroke units but is not without side effects. It impedes...

Background
The 39,XY*O mouse, which lacks the orthologues of the ADHD and autism candidate genes STS (steroid sulphatase) and ASMT (acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase), exhibits behavioural phenotypes relevant to developmental disorders. The neurob... Read More about Altered brain gene expression but not steroid biochemistry in a genetic mouse model of neurodevelopmental disorder.

Understanding the Primary Care Osteoarthritis Consultation using Video-Stimulated Recall
Thesis
Paskins, Z. (2015). Understanding the Primary Care Osteoarthritis Consultation using Video-Stimulated Recall

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the commonest long term condition in primary care. Current guidance suggests that much can be done to improve outcomes but existing research suggests doctors and patients are pessimistic about OA treatment. An impor...

The management of osteoarthritis in general practice: development and implementation of a model consultation
Thesis
development and implementation of a model consultation

Background
People with osteoarthritis (OA) frequently consult general practitioners (GPs) for the problem but the care they receive in these consultations is often sub-optimal. The aim of the studies described in this thesis was to enhance GP clinic...

In search of a system which acquires the maximum number of organs and is consistent with a society's values.
Thesis
Thornton, V. C. (2015). In search of a system which acquires the maximum number of organs and is consistent with a society's values

In 2008, the Organ Donation Taskforce was asked to consider the impact of introducing an opt-out system for organ donation in the United Kingdom. The Taskforce conducted a thorough investigation, which included information gathering from both the pub...

Assessment of magnetic particles for neural stem cell-based therapies
Thesis
Adams, C. F. (2015). Assessment of magnetic particles for neural stem cell-based therapies

Transplantation of genetically engineered neural stem cells (NSCs) into sites of central nervous system (CNS) disease/injury is a promising strategy to promote repair of damaged tissue. However, translating this strategy into the clinic requires seve... Read More about Assessment of magnetic particles for neural stem cell-based therapies.

Genetic and behavioural mechanisms of reproductive isolation and speciation in recently-diverged sibling species of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae s.l.
Thesis
(2016). Genetic and behavioural mechanisms of reproductive isolation and speciation in recently-diverged sibling species of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae s.l

Anopheles gambiae s.l. species are reported as the most important vectors due to their ability to spread and exploit both temporary and man-made breeding sites. These factors combined with their capacity to transmit malaria, make them wide-open subje...
