Angiogenesis in the pathogenesis of inflammatory joint and lung diseases (2001)
Journal Article
Walsh, D., & Pearson, C. (2001). Angiogenesis in the pathogenesis of inflammatory joint and lung diseases

This paper reviews hypotheses about roles of angiogenesis in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disease in two organs, the synovial joint and the lung. Neovascularisation is a fundamental process for growth and tissue repair after injury. Nevertheless,... Read More about Angiogenesis in the pathogenesis of inflammatory joint and lung diseases.

Interleukin-4 receptor alpha gene variants and allergic disease (2000)
Journal Article
Hall, I. P. (2000). Interleukin-4 receptor alpha gene variants and allergic disease. Respiratory Research, 1(1),

The interleukin-4 (IL-4) signalling cascade has been identified as a pathway potentially important in the development of asthma. Genetic variants within this signalling pathway might contribute to the risk of developing asthma in a given individual....

Ensemble learning of colorectal cancer survival rates
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Roadknight, C., Aickelin, U., Scholefield, J., & Durrant, L. Ensemble learning of colorectal cancer survival rates. Presented at IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Virtual Environments for Measurement Systems and Applications (CIVEMSA) 2013

In this paper, we describe a dataset relating to cellular and physical conditions of patients who are operated upon to remove colorectal tumours. This data provides a unique insight into immunological status at the point of tumour removal, tumour cla... Read More about Ensemble learning of colorectal cancer survival rates.

Validation of spatial microsimulation models: a proposal to adopt the Bland-Altman method
Journal Article
Timmins, K. A., & Edwards, K. L. (in press). Validation of spatial microsimulation models: a proposal to adopt the Bland-Altman method. International Journal of Microsimulation, 9(2),

Model validation is recognised as crucial to microsimulation modelling. However, modellers encounter difficulty in choosing the most meaningful methods to compare simulated and actual values. The aim of this paper is to introduce and demonstrate a me... Read More about Validation of spatial microsimulation models: a proposal to adopt the Bland-Altman method.

James, M. Lost and stolen dogs - the true sacrifice. University of Nottingham

A lost \ stolen dog has a devastating affect on an individual and their family this article attempts to quantify the financial cost of such an event in the UK context.

Conflicts of interest in dermatology
Journal Article
Williams, H. C., Naldi, L., Paul, C., Vahlquist, A., Schroter, S., & Jobling, R. Conflicts of interest in dermatology. Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 86(6), https://doi.org/10.2340/00015555-0191

Conflicts of interest exist in dermatology when professional
judgement concerning a primary interest, such as
research validity, may be influenced by a secondary interest, such as financial gain from a for-profit organization. Conflict of interest... Read More about Conflicts of interest in dermatology.

Protocol for the development and validation of risk prediction equations to estimate absolute and conditional survival in patients with cancer
Book
Hippisley-Cox, J., & Coupland, C. Protocol for the development and validation of risk prediction equations to estimate absolute and conditional survival in patients with cancer. University of Nottingham

This is a protocol to describe the development and validation of a set of prediction equations to quantify absolute survival for patients with different types of cancers taking account of other clinical factors available through routine linkage of ca...

Protocol to assess the effectiveness and safety of novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC) vs warfarin in real world settings: cohort study in primary care
Book
Hippisley-Cox, J., & Coupland, C. Protocol to assess the effectiveness and safety of novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC) vs warfarin in real world settings: cohort study in primary care. University of Nottingham

Anticoagulants are used to treat thrombosis and to prevent thrombosis and stroke among those at high risk. Older anticoagulants such as warfarin can be effective but require regular monitoring and may lead to major bleeding and even death. Newer anti...
