Infectious keratitis: an update on epidemiology, causative microorganisms, risk factors, and antimicrobial resistance (2021)
Journal Article
Ting, D. S. J., Ho, C. S., Deshmukh, R., Said, D. G., & Dua, H. S. (2021). Infectious keratitis: an update on epidemiology, causative microorganisms, risk factors, and antimicrobial resistance. Eye, 35, 1084-1101. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41433-020-01339-3

Corneal opacity is the 5th leading cause of blindness and visual impairment globally, affecting ~6 million of the world population. In addition, it is responsible for 1.5–2.0 million new cases of monocular blindness per year, highlighting an ongoing...

Pilot Randomised Evaluation of Singing in Dementia (PRESIDE): protocol for a two-arm, parallel group randomised controlled feasibility study with waiting-list control (2021)
Journal Article
Dowson, B., Schneider, J., Guo, B., Bath, P. M., Mcdermott, O., Haywood, L. J., & Orrell, M. (2021). Pilot Randomised Evaluation of Singing in Dementia (PRESIDE): protocol for a two-arm, parallel group randomised controlled feasibility study with waiting-list control. Pilot and Feasibility Studies, 7, Article 15. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40814-020-00759-y

Background

As the number of people living with dementia grows, so does the need to provide them with adequate psychosocial support. Many people with dementia live at home with family carers, who also require social and emotional support to cope wi...

The secretome of endothelial progenitor cells: a potential therapeutic strategy for ischemic stroke (2021)
Journal Article
Alwjwaj, M., Kadir, R. R. A., & Bayraktutan, U. (2021). The secretome of endothelial progenitor cells: a potential therapeutic strategy for ischemic stroke. Neural Regeneration Research, 16(8), 1483-1489. https://doi.org/10.4103/1673-5374.303012

Ischemic stroke continues to be a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the world. Despite recent advances in the field of stroke medicine, thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator remains as the only pharmacological therapy f...

Journal Article
Emani, P. S., Warrell, J., Anticevic, A., Bekiranov, S., Gandal, M., McConnell, M. J., …Harrow, A. W. (2021). Quantum computing at the frontiers of biological sciences. Nature Methods, 18, 701-709. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41592-020-01004-3

The search for meaningful structure in biological data has relied on cutting-edge advances in computational technology and data science methods. However, challenges arise as we push the limits of scale and complexity in biological problems. Innovatio... Read More about Quantum computing at the frontiers of biological sciences.

Can listening-related fatigue influence well-being? Examining associations between hearing loss, fatigue, activity levels and well-being (2021)
Journal Article
Holman, J. A., Hornsby, B. W. Y., Bess, F. H., & Naylor, G. (2021). Can listening-related fatigue influence well-being? Examining associations between hearing loss, fatigue, activity levels and well-being. International Journal of Audiology, 60(sup2), 47-59. https://doi.org/10.1080/14992027.2020.1853261

Objective
Well-being is influenced by the activities we undertake. Hearing loss may reduce well-being directly through increased listening-related fatigue due to cognitive and emotional strain in challenging situations. Hearing loss and hearing devi...

Neural Fields with Rebound Currents: Novel Routes to Patterning (2021)
Journal Article
Modhara, S., Lai, Y. M., Thul, R., & Coombes, S. (2021). Neural Fields with Rebound Currents: Novel Routes to Patterning. SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 20(3), 1596-1620. https://doi.org/10.1137/20M1364710

The understanding of how spatio-temporal patterns of neural activity may arise in the cortex of the brain has advanced with the development and analysis of neural field models. To replicate this success for sub-cortical tissues, such as the thalamus,... Read More about Neural Fields with Rebound Currents: Novel Routes to Patterning.

Associations Between Hearing and Cognitive Abilities From Childhood to Middle Age: The National Child Development Study 1958 (2021)
Journal Article
Okely, J. A., Akeroyd, M. A., & Deary, I. J. (2021). Associations Between Hearing and Cognitive Abilities From Childhood to Middle Age: The National Child Development Study 1958. Trends in Hearing, 25, 1-19. https://doi.org/10.1177/23312165211053707

Previous cross-sectional findings indicate that hearing and cognitive abilities are positively correlated in childhood, adulthood, and older age. We used an unusually valuable longitudinal dataset from a single-year birth cohort study, the National C...
