Altered whole-brain connectivity in albinism (2016)
Journal Article
Welton, T., Ather, S., Proudlock, F. A., Gottlob, I., & Dineen, R. A. (2017). Altered whole-brain connectivity in albinism. Human Brain Mapping, 38(2), 740-752. https://doi.org/10.1002/hbm.23414

Albinism is a group of congenital disorders of the melanin synthesis pathway. Multiple ocular, white matter and cortical abnormalities occur in albinism, including a greater decussation of nerve fibres at the optic chiasm, foveal hypoplasia and nysta...

Animated educational video to prepare children for MRI without sedation: evaluation of the appeal and value (2016)
Journal Article
Szeszak, S., Man, R., Love, A., Langmack, G., Wharrad, H., & Dineen, R. A. (2016). Animated educational video to prepare children for MRI without sedation: evaluation of the appeal and value. Pediatric Radiology, 46(12), 1744-1750. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00247-016-3661-4

Background: MRI scans can be distressing for children and often require sedation. Educating children about what to expect reduces anxiety and increases likelihood of successful non-sedated MRI scans. Multimedia tools are a popular means of education.... Read More about Animated educational video to prepare children for MRI without sedation: evaluation of the appeal and value.

Development and clinical acceptability of a pre-operative risk stratification tool of cerebellar mutism syndrome in children with posterior fossa tumour (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dineen, R. A., Avula, S., Chambers, T., Dutta, M., Liu, J., Soria, D., Quinlan, P., MacArthur, D., Howart, S., Harave, S., Ong, C., Mallucci, C., Kumar, R., Pizer, B., & Walker, D. Development and clinical acceptability of a pre-operative risk stratification tool of cerebellar mutism syndrome in children with posterior fossa tumour. Presented at 2016 Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health annual conference

Aims: Despite identification of numerous pre-operative cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) clinical and radiological predictors, a unifying pre-operative risk stratification model for use during surgical consent is currently lacking. The aims of the pro... Read More about Development and clinical acceptability of a pre-operative risk stratification tool of cerebellar mutism syndrome in children with posterior fossa tumour.

Background and purpose: More than 50% of patients with acute intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) are taking antihypertensive drugs before ictus. Although antihypertensive therapy should be given long term for secondary prevention, whether to continue or...
