Molecular mechanisms underpinning favourable physiological adaptations to exercise prehabilitation for urological cancer surgery (2023)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Surgery for urological cancers is associated with high complication rates and survivors commonly experience fatigue, reduced physical ability and quality of life. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) as surgical prehabilitation has bee...

The student patient alliance: development and formative evaluation of an initiative to support collaborations between patient and public involvement partners and doctoral students (2023)
Journal Article

Background While the integration of patient and public involvement (PPI) in clinical research is now widespread and recommended as standard practice, meaningful PPI in pre-clinical, discovery science research is more difficult to achieve. One potent...

Remote ischemic conditioning for stroke: A critical systematic review (2023)
Journal Article

Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is the application of brief periods of ischemia to an organ or tissue with the aim of inducing protection from ischemia in a distant organ. It was first developed as a cardioprotective strategy but has been increasi... Read More about Remote ischemic conditioning for stroke: A critical systematic review.

Contrast‐enhanced ultrasound repeatability for the measurement of skeletal muscle microvascular blood flow (2023)
Journal Article

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can be used to directly assess skeletal muscle perfusion. However, its repeatability over time has not yet been validated and therefore its use in longitudinal measures (i.e., exploring the impact of a chronic inte...

Loss of muscle mass in the immediate post-operative period is associated with inadequate dietary protein and energy intake (2023)
Journal Article

Despite the implementation of ‘Enhanced Recovery After Surgery’ (ERAS) protocols, major abdominal surgery is still associated with significant and detrimental losses of muscle mass and function in the post-operative period. Although ERAS protocols ad... Read More about Loss of muscle mass in the immediate post-operative period is associated with inadequate dietary protein and energy intake.

Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement for PhD Students (2023)
Working Paper

This paper aims to provide useful advice regarding the development of skills for patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) in research. The authors of this paper comprise experienced PhD supervisors and trainers, researchers leading PPIE a... Read More about Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement for PhD Students.
