AbstractInclusion in nasogastric tube feeds (NGTF) of acid-sensitive, seaweed-derived alginate, expected to form a reversible gel in the stomach, may create a more normal intragastric state and modified gastrointestinal responses. This may ameliorate... Read More about A comparative, randomised MRI study of the physiological and appetitive responses to gelling (alginate) and non-gelling nasogastric tube feeds in healthy men.

Reduced skeletal muscle protein balance in paediatric Crohn’s disease (2019)
Journal Article
Davies, A., Nixon, A., Muhammed, R., Tsintzas, K., Kirkham, S., Stephens, F. B., & Moran, G. W. (2020). Reduced skeletal muscle protein balance in paediatric Crohn’s disease. Clinical Nutrition, 39(4), 1250-1257. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clnu.2019.05.017

Background and Aims An inability to respond to nutrition could be implicated in low muscle mass in Crohn’s disease. We aim to determine skeletal muscle metabolic response to feeding in Crohn’s disease and healthy volunteers. Methods Twenty asymp...

An investigation into the spiritual needs of neuro-oncology patients from a nurse perspective (2013)
Journal Article
Nixon, A. V., Narayanasamy, A., & Penny, V. (2013). An investigation into the spiritual needs of neuro-oncology patients from a nurse perspective. BMC Nursing, 12, Article 2. https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6955-12-2

Background: Spiritual needs of cancer patients should be assessed and discussed by healthcare professionals. Neurosurgical nurses need to be able to assess and support neuro-oncology patients with their spiritual needs from diagnosis and throughout t...
