Journal Article
Andersson, J. L., Graham, M. S., Zsoldos, E., & Sotiropoulos, S. N. (2016). Incorporating outlier detection and replacement into a non-parametric framework for movement and distortion correction of diffusion MR images. NeuroImage, 141, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2016.06.058

Despite its great potential in studying brain anatomy and structure, diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is marred by artefacts more than any other commonly used MRI technique. In this paper we present a non-parametric framework for detecting...

The effects of hearing impairment, age, and hearing aids on the use of self motion for determining front/back location (2016)
Journal Article
Brimijoin, W. O., & Akeroyd, M. A. (2016). The effects of hearing impairment, age, and hearing aids on the use of self motion for determining front/back location. Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 27(7), https://doi.org/10.3766/jaaa.15101

Background:

There are two cues that listeners use to disambiguate the front/back location of a sound source: high-frequency spectral cues associated with the head and pinnae, and self-motion‐related binaural cues. The use of these cues can be comp... Read More about The effects of hearing impairment, age, and hearing aids on the use of self motion for determining front/back location.

A systematic review on the relationship between self-esteem and interrogative suggestibility (2016)
Journal Article

Some factors, such as age, learning disability and mental health difficulties, have been identified as making police suspects more vulnerable to suggestibility and false confessions during interview. However, there has been no systematic review on th... Read More about A systematic review on the relationship between self-esteem and interrogative suggestibility.

Consequences of late-stage non-small cell lung cancer cachexia on muscle metabolic processes (2016)
Journal Article

Introduction: Loss of muscle is common in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and contributes to the high morbidity and mortality of this group. The exact mechanisms behind the loss of muscle are unclear.
Patients and methods... Read More about Consequences of late-stage non-small cell lung cancer cachexia on muscle metabolic processes.

Blood pressure management in acute stroke (2016)
Journal Article
Appleton, J. P., Sprigg, N., & Bath, P. M. (in press). Blood pressure management in acute stroke. Stroke and Vascular Neurology, 1(2), https://doi.org/10.1136/svn-2016-000020

Blood pressure (BP) is elevated in 75% or more of patients with acute stroke and is associated with poor outcomes. Whether to modulate BP in acute stroke has long been debated. With the loss of normal cerebral autoregulation, theoretical concerns are... Read More about Blood pressure management in acute stroke.

Relationship between structural pathology and pain behaviour in a model of osteoarthritis (OA) (2016)
Journal Article

Objectives
To address the hypothesis that different types of established OA pain behaviours have associations with different aspects of articular pathology, we investigated the relationship between structural knee joint pathology and pain behaviour...

Using Diffusion Tractography to Predict Cortical Connection Strength and Distance: A Quantitative Comparison with Tracers in the Monkey (2016)
Journal Article

Using Diffusion Tractography to Predict Cortical Connection Strength and Distance: A Quantitative Comparison with Tracers in the Monkey. Journal of Neuroscience, 36(25), 6758-6770. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.0493-16.2016

Tractography based on diffusion MRI offers the promise of characterizing many aspects of long-distance connectivity in the brain, but requires quantitative validation to assess its strengths and limitations. Here, we evaluate tractography's ability t... Read More about Using Diffusion Tractography to Predict Cortical Connection Strength and Distance: A Quantitative Comparison with Tracers in the Monkey.

Aberrant post-translational protein modifications in the pathogenesis of alcohol-induced liver injury (2016)
Journal Article

It is likely that the majority of proteins will undergo post-translational modification, be it enzymatic or non-enzymatic. These modified protein(s) regulate activity, localization and interaction with other cellular molecules thereby maintaining cel...
