A double-blind randomized controlled trial of the effects of eicosapentaenoic acid supplementation on muscle inflammation and physical function in patients undergoing colorectal cancer resection (2019)
Journal Article
Hossain, T., Phillips, B. E., Doleman, B., Lund, J. N., & Williams, J. P. (2020). A double-blind randomized controlled trial of the effects of eicosapentaenoic acid supplementation on muscle inflammation and physical function in patients undergoing colorectal cancer resection. Clinical Nutrition, 39(7), 2055-2061. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clnu.2019.09.009

Background Resection of colorectal cancer (CRC) initiates inflammation, mediated at least partly by NFĸB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B-cells), leading to muscle catabolism and reduced physical performance. Eicosapentaen...

Long-term outcomes of biological mesh repair following extra levator abdominoperineal excision of the rectum: an observational study of 100 patients (2019)
Journal Article

Long-term outcomes of biological mesh repair following extra levator abdominoperineal excision of the rectum: an observational study of 100 patients. Techniques in Coloproctology, 23(8), 761-767. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10151-019-02056-0

Background Current evidence suggests that pelvic floor reconstruction following extralevator abdominoperineal excision of rectum (ELAPER) may reduce the risk of perineal herniation of intra-abdominal contents. Options for reconstruction include mesh...

Short-term pre-operative high-intensity interval training does not improve fitness of colorectal cancer patients (2019)
Journal Article
Boereboom, C. L., Blackwell, J. E., Williams, J. P., Phillips, B. E., & Lund, J. N. (2019). Short-term pre-operative high-intensity interval training does not improve fitness of colorectal cancer patients. Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports, 29(9), 1383-1391. https://doi.org/10.1111/sms.13460

Background: Preoperative cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in colorectal cancer patients has been shown to affect postoperative outcomes. The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of high-intensity interval training (HIT) for improving fitness...

The acute transcriptional response to resistance exercise: impact of age and contraction mode (2019)
Journal Article
Deane, C. S., Ames, R. M., Phillips, B. E., Weedon, M. N., Willis, C. R., Boereboom, C., …Etheridge, T. (2019). The acute transcriptional response to resistance exercise: impact of age and contraction mode. Aging, 11(7), 2111-2126. https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.101904

Optimization of resistance exercise (RE) remains a hotbed of research for muscle building and maintenance. However, the interactions between the contractile components of RE (i.e. concentric (CON) and eccentric (ECC)) and age, are poorly defined. We...

Quick and simple: psoas density measurement is an independent predictor of anastomotic leak and other complications after colorectal resection (2019)
Journal Article
Herrod, P. J., Boyd-Carson, H., Doleman, B., Trotter, J., Schlichtemeier, S., Sathanapally, G., …Lund, J. N. (2019). Quick and simple: psoas density measurement is an independent predictor of anastomotic leak and other complications after colorectal resection. Techniques in Coloproctology, 23(2), 129–134. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10151-019-1928-0

Purpose: Radiologically-defined sarcopenia has been shown to predict negative outcomes after cancer surgery, however radiological assessment of sarcopenia often requires additional software and standardisation against anthropomorphic data. Measuring... Read More about Quick and simple: psoas density measurement is an independent predictor of anastomotic leak and other complications after colorectal resection.
