Pain in rheumatoid arthritis (2012)
Journal Article
Walsh, D. A., & McWilliams, D. F. (2012). Pain in rheumatoid arthritis. Current Pain and Headache Reports, 16(6), 509-517. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11916-012-0303-x

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease of synovial joints, and pain is the predominant problem for people with RA. Pain in RA is distressing in its own right and adversely affects disability and psychosocial outcomes. RA pain may be due... Read More about Pain in rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective: To systematically review the use of Quantitative sensory testing (QST) in pain characterisation (phenotyping) in Osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Six bibliographic databases (Medline, Embase, Amed, Cinahl, PubMed, Web of Science) were searche...

Predictors of change in bodily pain in early rheumatoid arthritis: an inception cohort study (2012)
Journal Article
McWilliams, D. F., Zhang, W., Mansell, J. S., Kiely, P. D., Young, A., & Walsh, D. A. (2012). Predictors of change in bodily pain in early rheumatoid arthritis: an inception cohort study. Arthritis Care and Research, 64(10), https://doi.org/10.1002/acr.21723

Objective: To investigate possible predictors for lack of pain improvement after 1 year of treatment for early rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Methods: The Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Network (ERAN) database was used for analysis of baseline and 1-year... Read More about Predictors of change in bodily pain in early rheumatoid arthritis: an inception cohort study.

Lymphatic vessels in osteoarthritic human knees (2012)
Journal Article
Walsh, D. A., Verghese, P., Cook, G. J., McWilliams, D. F., Mapp, P. I., Ashraf, S., & Wilson, D. (2012). Lymphatic vessels in osteoarthritic human knees. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 20(5), 405-412. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2012.01.012

Objectives: The distribution and function of lymphatic vessels in normal and diseased human knees are understood incompletely. This study aimed to investigate whether lymphatic density is associated with clinical, histological or radiographic paramet... Read More about Lymphatic vessels in osteoarthritic human knees.

Angiogenesis in the synovium and at the osteochondral junction in osteoarthritis (2007)
Journal Article
Walsh, D. A., Bonnet, C. S., Turner, E. L., Wilson, D., Situ, M., & McWilliams, D. F. (2007). Angiogenesis in the synovium and at the osteochondral junction in osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 15(7), 743-751. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2007.01.020

Objectives:
We hypothesised that osteochondral and synovial angiogenesis in osteoarthritis (OA) are independent processes. We investigated whether indices of osteochondral and synovial angiogenesis display different relationships with synovitis, di...

Inflammation and angiogenesis in osteoarthritis (2003)
Journal Article
Haywood, L., McWilliams, D. F., Pearson, C. I., Gill, S. E., Ganesan, A., Wilson, D., & Walsh, D. A. (2003). Inflammation and angiogenesis in osteoarthritis. Arthritis and Rheumatism, 48(8), 2173-2177. https://doi.org/10.1002/art.11094

Objective. To quantify the relationship between inflammation and angiogenesis in synovial tissue from patients with osteoarthritis (OA). Methods. Hematoxylin and eosin staining and histologic grading for inflammation were performed for 104 patients w... Read More about Inflammation and angiogenesis in osteoarthritis.

Antibodies raised against the extracellular tail of the CCKB/gastrin receptor inhibit gastrin-stimulated signalling (2001)
Journal Article
McWilliams, D. F., Grimes, S., & Watson, S. A. (2001). Antibodies raised against the extracellular tail of the CCKB/gastrin receptor inhibit gastrin-stimulated signalling. Regulatory Peptides, 99(2-3), 157-161. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0167-0115%2801%2900245-2

Introduction: Gastrin acts to stimulate gastric acid secretion and is an acknowledged growth factor for human gastrointestinal (GI) cancer. The identity of the exact receptor type mediating the growth promoting effects of gastrin in tumours is uncert...

Coexpression of gastrin and gastrin receptors (CCK-B and ΔCCK-B) in gastrointestinal tumour cell lines (1998)
Journal Article
McWilliams, D. F., Watson, S. A., Crosbee, D. M., Michaeli, D., & Seth, R. (1998). Coexpression of gastrin and gastrin receptors (CCK-B and ΔCCK-B) in gastrointestinal tumour cell lines. Gut, 42(6), 795-798. https://doi.org/10.1136/gut.42.6.795

Background - The peptide hormone gastrin is a recognised growth factor for gastrointestinal (GI) tumour cells. Carboxyamidated gastrins bind to the cell surface gastrin/cholecystokinin B (CCK-B) receptor which can be expressed as either a normal or a...
