Journal Article
Cadagan, D., Khan, R., & Amer, S. A. (2016). Thecal cell sensitivity to luteinizing hormone and insulin in polycystic ovarian syndrome. Reproductive Biology -Olsztyn-, 16(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.repbio.2015.12.006

This study examined whether a defect of steroid synthesis in ovarian theca cells may lead to the development of PCOS, through contributions to excess androgen secretion.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the leading causes of infertilit... Read More about Thecal cell sensitivity to luteinizing hormone and insulin in polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Learning lessons from adverse drug reactions in children (2016)
Journal Article
Sammons, H., & Choonara, I. (2016). Learning lessons from adverse drug reactions in children. Children, 3(1), https://doi.org/10.3390/children3010001

Drug toxicity is, unfortunately, a significant problem in children both in the hospital and in the community. Drug toxicity in children is different to that seen in adults. At least one in 500 children will experience an adverse drug reaction each ye... Read More about Learning lessons from adverse drug reactions in children.

Physiological Reports, 3(11), Article e12593. https://doi.org/10.14814/phy2.12593

We recently reported that the greatest distinguishing feature between eccentric (ECC) and concentric (CON) muscle loading lays in architectural adaptations: ECC favors increases in fascicle length (Lf), associated with distal vastus lateralis muscle...
