Purpose and Providence in Evolutionary Perspective: Considerations for Theological Anthropology in Light of Biocultural Evolution and Genetic Engineering (2025)
Journal Article
BURDETT, M., & Jackson, A. (in press). Purpose and Providence in Evolutionary Perspective: Considerations for Theological Anthropology in Light of Biocultural Evolution and Genetic Engineering. The Heythrop Journal,

We argue here that bringing insights from evolution and bioengineering to bear on traditional accounts of divine providence helps to illustrate just how complex providence is and how difficult it is to achieve. While other non‐human animals might exh...

The Challenge of Assessing Impaired Awareness of Hypoglycaemia in Diabetes in the Era of Continuous Glucose Monitoring: A narrative review of evidence and translation into clinical practice (2025)
Journal Article
Berry, S. A., Liarakos, A. L., Koutroukas, V., Choudhary, P., Wilmot, E. G., & Iqbal, A. (2025). The Challenge of Assessing Impaired Awareness of Hypoglycaemia in Diabetes in the Era of Continuous Glucose Monitoring: A narrative review of evidence and translation into clinical practice. Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, https://doi.org/10.1111/dom.16284

Iatrogenic hypoglycaemia remains a major barrier in diabetes care. Over time, and with repeated hypoglycaemic episodes, the physiological responses to hypoglycaemia can become blunted, resulting in impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia (IAH). In IAH, t...

The Linear Association of Chest Radiograph Opacification With Both Respiratory Physiology and Systemic Inflammation in Hospital In-Patients With Covid-19 Infection (2025)
Journal Article
Crooks, C., Shaw, D., Card, T., Au-Yong, I., Higashi, Y., Giannotti, E., & Fogarty, A. (2025). The Linear Association of Chest Radiograph Opacification With Both Respiratory Physiology and Systemic Inflammation in Hospital In-Patients With Covid-19 Infection. Clinical Respiratory Journal, 19(2), Article e70056. https://doi.org/10.1111/crj.70056

Background: Chest radiographs are generally used for diagnostic purposes. They also have potential to quantify disease severity. This analysis tested the hypothesis that there was an association between chest radiograph opacification and measures of...

Gastroenterology Training and Career in Women: Challenges and Opportunities (2025)
Journal Article
Manthopoulou, E., Catalan‐Serra, I., Corsetti, M., Nowak, A., Perugorria, M. J., Simsek, C., & Ciacci, C. (2025). Gastroenterology Training and Career in Women: Challenges and Opportunities. United European Gastroenterology Journal, https://doi.org/10.1002/ueg2.12764

This review highlights gender gaps in training, career, and work-life balance in gastroenterology. Stereotypes and biases toward women’s abilities and commitment to their careers can influence evaluations, advancement in gastroenterology training, an...

Oral Hyoscine butylbromide exerts spasmolytic effects both in gastrointestinal and urogenital tissues in rats (2025)
Journal Article
Traserra, S., Appelqvist, T., Lange, R., Corsetti, M., & Jimenez, M. (2025). Oral Hyoscine butylbromide exerts spasmolytic effects both in gastrointestinal and urogenital tissues in rats. British Journal of Pharmacology, https://doi.org/10.1111/bph.17474

Background and Purpose: Hyoscine butylbromide (HBB) has a low oral (PO) bioavailability. Further, limited data on its activity on non-gastrointestinal (GI) smooth muscle spasms after oral dosing are available, meaning its effect outside the GI tract...

Clinical Kidney Journal, https://doi.org/10.1093/ckj/sfaf041

Background
In people living with polycystic kidney disease (PKD), physical inactivity may contribute to poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). To date, no research has elucidated the impact of a PKD-specific physical activity programme on HRQo...
