INTRODUCTION Physiologically relevant pre-clinical ex vivo models recapitulating CNS tumor micro-environmental complexity will aid development of biologically-targeted agents. We present comprehensive characterization of tumor aggregates generated...

The placental renin-angiotensin system and oxidative stress in pre-eclampsia (2012)
Journal Article
Mistry, H., Kurlak, L., & Broughton Pipkin, F. (2013). The placental renin-angiotensin system and oxidative stress in pre-eclampsia. Placenta, 34(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.placenta.2012.11.027

There is an inverse correlation between human birthweight and umbilical venous angiotensin II (AngII) concentrations. Oxidative stress and increased pro-renin receptor (PRR) both enhance the cleavage of angiotensin I from angiotensinogen (AGT). Pre-e...

Induction of labour versus expectant management for nulliparous women over 35 years of age: a multi-centre prospective, randomised controlled trial (2012)
Journal Article
Walker, K. F., Bugg, G., Macpherson, M., McCormick, C., Wildsmith, C., Smith, G., & Thornton, J. (2012). Induction of labour versus expectant management for nulliparous women over 35 years of age: a multi-centre prospective, randomised controlled trial. BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 12(Decemb), Article 8. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2393-12-145

Background: British women are increasingly delaying childbirth. The proportion giving birth over the age of 35 rose from 12% in 1996 to 20% in 2006. Women over this age are at a higher risk of perinatal death, and antepartum stillbirth accounts for 6...

Protocol evaluating the effectiveness of a school-based group programme for parents of children at risk of ADHD: the ‘PArents, Teachers and CHildren WORKing Together (PATCHWORK)’ cluster RCT protocol. BMJ Open, 2(5), Article e001783. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2012-001783

Introduction Early intervention for childhood behavioural problems may help improve health and educational outcomes in affected children and reduce the likelihood of developing additional difficulties. The National Institute for Health and Clinical...

Maternal selenium, copper and zinc concentrations in pregnancy associated with small-for-gestational-age infants (2012)
Journal Article
Mistry, H. D., Kurlak, L., Young, S. D., Briley, A., Broughton Pipkin, F., Baker, P., & Poston, L. (2014). Maternal selenium, copper and zinc concentrations in pregnancy associated with small-for-gestational-age infants. Maternal and Child Nutrition, 10, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1740-8709.2012.00430.x

Pregnancy during adolescence increases the risk of adverse pregnancy outcome, especially risk of small-for gestational-age (SGA) birth, which has been linked to micronutrient deficiencies. Likewise, smoking has been shown to be related with lower mic... Read More about Maternal selenium, copper and zinc concentrations in pregnancy associated with small-for-gestational-age infants.

Results of antibiotic susceptibility testing do not influence clinical outcome in children with cystic fibrosis (2012)
Journal Article
Hurley, M., Amin Ariff, A., Bertenshaw, C., Bhatt, J., & Smyth, A. R. (2012). Results of antibiotic susceptibility testing do not influence clinical outcome in children with cystic fibrosis. Journal of Cystic Fibrosis, 11(4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcf.2012.02.006

Introduction: Patients with CF experience pulmonary exacerbations. These are often initially empirically treated with intravenous antibiotics, with antibiotic choice refined after susceptibility testing. Methods: We completed a 5-year retrospectiv...

Abstract Background Although international newborn resuscitation guidance has been in force for some time, there are no UK data on current newborn resuscitation practices. Objective Establish delivery room (DR) resuscitation practices in the UK... Read More about Marked variation in newborn resuscitation practice: a national survey in the UK.

Systematic review of safety in paediatric drug trials published in 2007 (2012)
Journal Article
Nor Aripin, K. N. B., Choonara, I., & Sammons, H. (2012). Systematic review of safety in paediatric drug trials published in 2007. European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 68(2), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00228-011-1112-6

Background: There is now greater involvement of children in drug trials to ensure that paediatric medicines are supported by sound scientific evidence. The safety of the participating children is of paramount importance. Previous research shows that... Read More about Systematic review of safety in paediatric drug trials published in 2007.
