Journal Article
Shafqat, A., Rafi, M., Thanawala, V., Bedforth, N. M., Hardman, J., & McCahon, R. A. (2018). Validity and reliability of an objective structured assessment tool for performance of ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia. British Journal of Anaesthesia, 121(4), 867-875. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bja.2018.06.014

Background: We aimed to examine the validity and reliability of previously developed criterion-referenced assessment checklist (AC) and global rating scale (GRS) to assess performance in ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia (UGRA). Methods: Twenty... Read More about Validity and reliability of an objective structured assessment tool for performance of ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia.

Assessment of diaphragmatic thickness by ultrasonography in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients (2018)
Journal Article
Laviola, M., Priori, R., D’Angelo, M. G., & Aliverti, A. (2018). Assessment of diaphragmatic thickness by ultrasonography in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients. PLoS ONE, 13(7), 1-13. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0200582

Introduction In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) the assessment of diaphragmatic function is crucial because respiratory muscle weakness can cause respiratory failure. We aimed to noninvasively assess diaphragmatic function in DMD by measuring diap...

Elastin content and distribution in endothelial keratoplasty tissue determines direction of scrolling (2018)
Journal Article
Mohammed, I., Ross, A. R., Britton, J. O., Said, D. G., & Dua, H. S. (2018). Elastin content and distribution in endothelial keratoplasty tissue determines direction of scrolling. American Journal of Ophthalmology, 194, 16-25. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ajo.2018.07.001

Purpose Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and pre-Descemet endothelial keratoplasty (PDEK) tissues always scroll with the endothelial cells (EC) outside. We designed a study to understand the reason for this behavior. Design... Read More about Elastin content and distribution in endothelial keratoplasty tissue determines direction of scrolling.

Do individual versus illness belief schema differ in the prediction of post-stroke recovery? (2018)
Journal Article
Aujla, N., Walker, M., Sprigg, N., & Vedhara, K. (2020). Do individual versus illness belief schema differ in the prediction of post-stroke recovery?. Journal of Health Psychology, 25(13-14), 2118-2128. https://doi.org/10.1177/1359105318785446

This longitudinal observational study examined how individual versus illness belief schema compare as predictors of post-stroke recovery. Forty-two stroke survivors (mean age=66.9 years/range=29-96 years; 68% male), were involved. The primary outcome...

A comparison of two different software packages for the analysis of body composition using computed tomography images (2018)
Journal Article
Rollins, K. E., Awwad, A., MacDonald, I. A., & Lobo, D. N. (2019). A comparison of two different software packages for the analysis of body composition using computed tomography images. Nutrition, 57, 92-96. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nut.2018.06.003

Objectives: Body composition analysis from computed tomography (CT) imaging has become widespread. However, the methodology used is far from established. Two main software packages are in common usage for body composition analysis, with results used...

Imaging of nuclear magnetic resonance spin-lattice relaxation activation energy in cartilage (2018)
Journal Article
Foster, R. J., Damion, R. A., Ries, M. E., Smye, S. W., McGonagle, D. G., Binks, D. A., & Radjenovic, A. (2018). Imaging of nuclear magnetic resonance spin-lattice relaxation activation energy in cartilage. Royal Society Open Science, 5(7), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.180221

Samples of human and bovine cartilage have been examined using magnetic resonance imaging to determine the proton nuclearmagnetic resonance spin-lattice relaxation time, T1, as a function of depth within the cartilage tissue. T1 was measured at five... Read More about Imaging of nuclear magnetic resonance spin-lattice relaxation activation energy in cartilage.

Mucosal injury following short term tracheal intubation: a novel animal model and composite injury score (2018)
Journal Article
Sinha, R., Correia, R., Gardner, D., Grau-Roma, L., de Brot, S., Hardman, J., …Norris, A. (2018). Mucosal injury following short term tracheal intubation: a novel animal model and composite injury score. Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, 3(4), 257-262. https://doi.org/10.1002/lio2.168

Objectives: Postintubation laryngotracheal injury is common. Assessment of histopathological changes currently requires animal models. We set about developing a viable, resource effective animal model to study these effects and to develop a detailed...
