Do orally administered antibiotics reach concentrations in the middle ear sufficient to eradicate planktonic and biofilm bacteria?: a review (2015)
Journal Article
Belfield, K., Bayston, R., Birchall, J., & Daniel, M. (2015). Do orally administered antibiotics reach concentrations in the middle ear sufficient to eradicate planktonic and biofilm bacteria?: a review. International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 79(3), 296-300. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijporl.2015.01.003

INTRODUCTION:
Infectious conditions of the middle ear are a common and significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Systemic antibiotics are frequently used, but their effectiveness will depend on whether an adequate antibiotic concentrat...

Rehabilitation of memory following brain injury (ReMemBrIn): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial (2015)
Journal Article
das Nair, R., Lincoln, N., Ftizsimmons, D., Brain, N., Montgomery, A., Bradshaw, L., Drummond, A. E., Sackley, C. M., Newby, G., Thornton, J., Stapleton, S., & Pink, A. (2015). Rehabilitation of memory following brain injury (ReMemBrIn): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial. Trials, 16(6), https://doi.org/10.1186/1745-6215-16-6

Background
Impairments of memory are commonly reported by people with traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Such deficits are persistent, debilitating, and can severely impact quality of life. Currently, many do not routinely receive follow-up appointment... Read More about Rehabilitation of memory following brain injury (ReMemBrIn): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

Normalisation of brain connectivity through compensatory behaviour, despite congenital hand absence (2015)
Journal Article
Hahamy, A., Sotiropoulos, S. N., Henderson Slater, D., Malach, R., Johansen-Berg, H., & Makin, T. R. (2015). Normalisation of brain connectivity through compensatory behaviour, despite congenital hand absence. eLife, 4, Article e04605. https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.04605.001

Previously we showed, using task-evoked fMRI, that compensatory intact hand usage after amputation facilitates remapping of limb representations in the cortical territory of the missing hand (Makin et al., 2013a). Here we show that compensatory arm u... Read More about Normalisation of brain connectivity through compensatory behaviour, despite congenital hand absence.
