Journal Article
Dimitri, P., Pignataro, V., Lupo, M., Bonifazi, D., Henke, M., Musazzi, U. M., …Lopedota, A. (2021). Medical device development for children and young people—reviewing the challenges and opportunities. Pharmaceutics, 13(12), Article 2178. https://doi.org/10.3390/pharmaceutics13122178

Development of specific medical devices (MDs) is required to meet the healthcare needs of children and young people (CYP). In this context, MD development should address changes in growth and psychosocial maturation, physiology, and pathophysiology,...

Small bowel water content assessed by MRI in health and disease: a collation of single-centre studies (2021)
Journal Article
Dellschaft, N., Hoad, C., Marciani, L., Gowland, P., & Spiller, R. (2022). Small bowel water content assessed by MRI in health and disease: a collation of single-centre studies. Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 55(3), 327-338. https://doi.org/10.1111/apt.16673

Background: New developments in MRI have allowed the non-invasive, accurate measurement of the small bowel water content (SBWC). Aims: To collate studies measuring SBWC following ingestion of a range of foods in both health and disease to provide dat...

Luminal fluid motion inside an in vitro dissolution model of the human ascending colon assessed using magnetic resonance imaging (2021)
Journal Article
O’Farrell, C., Hoad, C. L., Stamatopoulos, K., Marciani, L., Sulaiman, S., Simmons, M. J. H., & Batchelor, H. K. (2021). Luminal fluid motion inside an in vitro dissolution model of the human ascending colon assessed using magnetic resonance imaging. Pharmaceutics, 13(10), Article 1545. https://doi.org/10.3390/pharmaceutics13101545

Knowledge of luminal flow inside the human colon remains elusive, despite its importance for the design of new colon-targeted drug delivery systems and physiologically relevant in silico models of dissolution mechanics within the colon. This study us... Read More about Luminal fluid motion inside an in vitro dissolution model of the human ascending colon assessed using magnetic resonance imaging.

Assessing lymphatic uptake of lipids using magnetic resonance imaging: A feasibility study in healthy human volunteers with potential application for tracking lymph node delivery of drugs and formulation excipients (2021)
Journal Article
Jewell, A., Williams, H., Hoad, C. L., Gellert, P. R., Ashford, M. B., Butler, J., …Gershkovich, P. (2021). Assessing lymphatic uptake of lipids using magnetic resonance imaging: A feasibility study in healthy human volunteers with potential application for tracking lymph node delivery of drugs and formulation excipients. Pharmaceutics, 13(9), Article 1343. https://doi.org/10.3390/pharmaceutics13091343

Dietary lipids and some pharmaceutical lipid excipients can facilitate the targeted delivery of drugs to the intestinal lymphatics. Here, the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for imaging lipid uptake into the intestinal lymphatics was...

Journal Article
Abrehart, N., Frost, K., YPAG, Y. P. A. G., Harris, R., Wragg, A., Stewart, D., …Marciani, L. (2021). “A little (PPI) MAGIC can take you a long way” : involving children and young people in research from inception of a novel medical device to multi-centre clinical trial Roald Dahl, James and the Giant Peach (1961). Research Involvement and Engagement, 7, Article 2. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40900-020-00243-0

Background: There is often a great urgency to be inclusive when conducting research and to focus efforts with groups and communities that can be referred to as marginalised. This is especially the case in research concerning medical devices aimed a...
