Imaging Measurement of Whole Gut Transit Time in Paediatric and Adult Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders: A Systematic Review and Narrative Synthesis (2019)
Journal Article
Sharif, H., Devadason, D., Abrehart, N., Stevenson, R., & Marciani, L. (2019). Imaging Measurement of Whole Gut Transit Time in Paediatric and Adult Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders: A Systematic Review and Narrative Synthesis. Diagnostics, 9(4), Article 221. https://doi.org/10.3390/diagnostics9040221

Background: functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) are common conditions in children and adults, often associated with abnormalities of whole gut transit. Currently, transit tests can be performed using several imaging methods including trackin...

Volume Changes After Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury in Animal Studies - A Systematic Review (2019)
Journal Article
Sharif-Alhoseini, M., Vahedi, F., Omidbeigi, M., Sharifi, M., Hassannejad, Z., Abdollah Zadegan, S., …Rahimi-Movaghar, V. (2019). Volume Changes After Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury in Animal Studies - A Systematic Review. Acta Medica Iranica, 57(6), 385-394. https://doi.org/10.18502/acta.v57i6.1885

There are limited data on the lesion volume changes following spinal cord injury (SCI). In this study, a meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the volume size changes of the injured spinal cord over time among animal studies in traumatic SCI. Follo...

Physical activity and fatigue in adults with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): a systematic review (2019)
Journal Article
Radford, S. J., Janiszewski, H., & Moran, G. W. (2019). Physical activity and fatigue in adults with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): a systematic review. Gastrointestinal Nursing, 17(9), 16-21. https://doi.org/10.12968/gasn.2019.17.9.16

Background: Fatigue is frequently reported in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD has been shown to have an impact on, and be impacted by, physical activity levels in IBD patients, Yet, to date, there have been no systematic reviews considering the...

Not All Play Equipment Is Created Equal: Associations Between Equipment at Home and Children’s Physical Activity (2019)
Journal Article
Moss, K. M., Dobson, A. J., Edwards, K., Hesketh, K. D., Chang, Y.-T., & Mishra, G. D. (2019). Not All Play Equipment Is Created Equal: Associations Between Equipment at Home and Children’s Physical Activity. Journal of Physical Activity and Health, 16(11), 945-951. https://doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2019-0075

Background: Play equipment at home could be targeted in interventions to increase children’s physical activity (PA), but evidence is mixed, potentially because current methods do not reflect children’s lived experience. This study investigated associ... Read More about Not All Play Equipment Is Created Equal: Associations Between Equipment at Home and Children’s Physical Activity.

Journal Article
Faidra Angelerou, M. G., Markus, R., Paraskevopoulou, V., Foralosso, R., Clarke, P., Alvarez, C. V., …Marlow, M. (2020). Mechanistic investigations into the encapsulation and release of small molecules and proteins from a supramolecular nucleoside gel in vitro and in vivo. Journal of Controlled Release, 317, 118-129. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jconrel.2019.10.011

Supramolecular gels have recently emerged as promising biomaterials for the delivery of a wide range of bioactive molecules, from small hydrophobic drugs to large biomolecules such as proteins. Although it has been demonstrated that each encapsulated...

Diagnosis of Barrett’s esophagus and Esophageal Varices using a Magnetically Assisted Capsule Endoscopy system (2019)
Journal Article
Beg, S., Card, T., Warburton, S., Rahman, I., Wilkes, E., White, J., & Ragunath, K. (2020). Diagnosis of Barrett’s esophagus and Esophageal Varices using a Magnetically Assisted Capsule Endoscopy system. Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 91(4), 773-781.e1. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gie.2019.10.031

Background and Aims
Magnetically assisted capsule endoscopy (MACE) potentially offers a comfortable, patient friendly, and community-based alternative to gastroscopy (EGD). This pilot study aims to explore whether this approach can be used to accura...

Journal Article
Bradley, C. R., Bragg, D. D., Cox, E. F., El-Sharkawy, A. M., Buchanan, C. E., Chowdhury, A. H., …Lobo, D. N. (2020). A randomized, controlled, double-blind crossover study on the effects of isoeffective and isovolumetric intravenous crystalloid and gelatin on blood volume, and renal and cardiac hemodynamics.
