Cellulitis or Charcot neuropathy in diabetes? (2005)
Journal Article
Mandour, O., Elyas, S., & Cooper, N. (2005). Cellulitis or Charcot neuropathy in diabetes?. Acute Medicine, 4(1), 1-44. https://doi.org/10.52964/AMJA.0091

Cellulitis of the lower limb is a common presentation in patients with diabetes. We report a case illustrating how Charcot neuropathy can be overlooked because of its resemblance to cellulitis.

Early warning scores for emergency admissions (2005)
Journal Article
Cooper, N. (2005). Early warning scores for emergency admissions. Quality in Primary Care, 13(1), 9-11

Recent Department of Health reports and the increasing number of emergency admissions mean that our systems need to change so that patients who are seriously ill get the care they need. Collaboration between primary and secondary care trusts is neede... Read More about Early warning scores for emergency admissions.

Controversies in acute medicine: Oxygen therapy for exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (2004)
Journal Article
Cooper, N. (2004). Controversies in acute medicine: Oxygen therapy for exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Acute Medicine, 3(2), 45-84. https://doi.org/10.52964/AMJA.0071

Some patients with COPD ‘retain CO2’ when given high concentration or uncontrolled oxygen therapy. The mechanism for this, and why it occurs in only some patients, is unclear. The pathogenesis of chronic hypercapnia in COPD involves multiple, poorly...

A diagnosis not to miss (2004)
Journal Article

The genotype distribution of the XRCC1 gene indicates a role for base excision repair in the development of therapy-related acute myeloblastic leukemia (2002)
Journal Article
Seedhouse, C., Bainton, R., Lewis, M., Harding, A., Russell, N., & Das-Gupta, E. (2002). The genotype distribution of the XRCC1 gene indicates a role for base excision repair in the development of therapy-related acute myeloblastic leukemia. Blood, 100(10), 3761-3766. https://doi.org/10.1182/blood-2002-04-1152

Polymorphisms in several DNA repair genes have been described. These polymorphisms may affect DNA repair capacity and modulate cancer susceptibility by means of gene-environment interactions. We investigated DNA repair capacity and its association wi...
