Deuterium brain imaging at 7T during D2O dosing (2022)
Journal Article

Purpose To characterize the (2H) deuterium MR signal measured from human brain at 7T in participants loading with D2O to ˜1.5% enrichment over a six-week period. Methods 2H spectroscopy and imaging measurements were used to track the time-course... Read More about Deuterium brain imaging at 7T during D2O dosing.

Task-dependent plasticity in distributed neural circuits after transcranial direct current stimulation of the human motor cortex: A proof-of-concept study (2022)
Journal Article

The ability of non-invasive brain stimulation to induce neuroplasticity and cause long-lasting functional changes is of considerable interest for the reversal of chronic pain and disability. Stimulation of the primary motor cortex (M1) has provided s...

Medical treatment for heavy menstrual bleeding in primary care: 10-year data from the ECLIPSE trial (2022)
Journal Article

Background Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a common problem that can significantly affect women's lives. There is a lack of evidence on long-term outcomes after seeking treatment. Aim To assess continuation rates of medical treatments and rates of... Read More about Medical treatment for heavy menstrual bleeding in primary care: 10-year data from the ECLIPSE trial.

Time intervals and distances travelled for prehospital ambulance stroke care: data from the randomised-controlled ambulance-based Rapid Intervention with Glyceryl trinitrate in Hypertensive stroke Trial-2 (RIGHT-2) (2022)
Journal Article

Objectives Ambulances offer the first opportunity to evaluate hyperacute stroke treatments. We investigated the conduct of a hyperacute stroke study in the ambulance-based setting with a particular focus on timings and logistics of trial delivery.... Read More about Time intervals and distances travelled for prehospital ambulance stroke care: data from the randomised-controlled ambulance-based Rapid Intervention with Glyceryl trinitrate in Hypertensive stroke Trial-2 (RIGHT-2).

Mapping brain endophenotypes associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis genetic risk (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a serious disease of the lung parenchyma. It has a known polygenetic risk, with at least seventeen regions of the genome implicated to date. Growing evidence suggests linked multimorbidity of IPF wit... Read More about Mapping brain endophenotypes associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis genetic risk.

Endovascular Thrombectomy vs Best Medical Therapy for Late Presentation Acute Ischaemic Stroke with Proximal Large Vessel Occlusion Selected Based on Non-Contrast CT: A Retrospective Analysis of Two Prospectively Defined Cohorts (2022)
Journal Article

Background: The efficacy and safety of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) beyond 6 hours from acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) onset for patients selected without CT perfusion or MR imaging is undetermined in routine clinical practice. Methods: In this...

Multimodal-neuroimaging machine-learning analysis of motor disability in multiple sclerosis (2022)
Journal Article

Motor disability is a dominant and restricting symptom in multiple sclerosis, yet its neuroimaging correlates are not fully understood. We apply statistical and machine learning techniques on multimodal neuroimaging data to discriminate between multi...

Dietary nitrate supplementation for preventing and reducing the severity of winter infections, including COVID-19, in care homes (BEET-Winter)-a randomised placebo-controlled feasibility trial (2022)
Journal Article

Purpose Infections cause considerable care home morbidity and mortality. Nitric oxide (NO) has broad-spectrum anti-viral, bacterial and yeast activity in vitro. We assessed the feasibility of supplementing dietary nitrate (NO substrate) intake in ca... Read More about Dietary nitrate supplementation for preventing and reducing the severity of winter infections, including COVID-19, in care homes (BEET-Winter)-a randomised placebo-controlled feasibility trial.

The large numbers of minicolumns in the primary visual cortex of humans, chimpanzees and gorillas are related to high visual acuity (2022)
Journal Article

Minicolumns are thought to be a fundamental neural unit in the neocortex and their replication may have formed the basis of the rapid cortical expansion that occurred during primate evolution. We sought evidence of minicolumns in the primary visual c...

Ticagrelor-Aspirin versus Clopidogrel-Aspirin among CYP2C19 Loss-of-Function Carriers with Minor Stroke or TIA in Relation to Renal Function: A Post Hoc Analysis of CHANCE-2 Trial (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Evidence on the risk-benefit ratio of dual antiplatelet therapies among stroke patients with impaired renal function is limited and inconsistent. Objective: To investigate the effect of renal function on the efficacy and safety of tic...
