Cerebellar repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation restores pharyngeal brain activity and swallowing behaviour after disruption by a cortical virtual lesion (2019)
Journal Article

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can alter neuronal activity within the brain with therapeutic potential. Low frequency stimulation to the ‘dominant’ cortical swallowing projection induces a ‘virtual‐lesion’ transiently suppressing...

It is safe to use transdermal glyceryl trinitrate to lower blood pressure in patients with acute ischaemic stroke with carotid stenosis (2019)
Journal Article

Background There is concern that blood pressure (BP) lowering in acute stroke may compromise cerebral perfusion and worsen outcome in the presence of carotid stenosis. We assessed the effect of glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) in patients with carotid steno...

Exploring the experiences of cancer patients with chemotherapy induced ototoxicity: qualitative study using online health forums (2019)
Journal Article

Background: Many cancer patients and survivors experience permanent and life-debilitating effects, such as ototoxicity, from treatment. Ototoxicity manifests as high-frequency hearing loss and tinnitus, which can have a detrimental effect on the qual...

Short-term morbidity factors associated with length of hospital stay (LOS): development and validation of a hip fracture specific postoperative morbidity survey (HF-POMS) (2019)
Journal Article

Background: We aimed to describe and quantify postoperative complications in the older hip fracture population, develop and validate a hip fracture postoperative morbidity survey tool (HF–POMS). Methods: A prospective clinical observation study o...

MRS and DTI evidence of progressive posterior cingulate cortex and corpus callosum injury in the hyper-acute phase after Traumatic Brain Injury (2019)
Journal Article

The posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) and corpus callosum (CC) are susceptible to trauma, but injury often evades detection. PCC Metabolic disruption may predict CC white matter tract injury and the secondary cascade responsible for progression. While... Read More about MRS and DTI evidence of progressive posterior cingulate cortex and corpus callosum injury in the hyper-acute phase after Traumatic Brain Injury.

High temporal resolution arterial spin labeling MRI with whole-brain coverage by combining time-encoding with Look-Locker and simultaneous multi-slice imaging (2019)
Journal Article

Purpose The goal of this study was to achieve high temporal resolution, multi?time point pseudo?continuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL) MRI in a time?efficient manner, while maintaining whole?brain coverage. Methods A Hadamard 8?matrix was use... Read More about High temporal resolution arterial spin labeling MRI with whole-brain coverage by combining time-encoding with Look-Locker and simultaneous multi-slice imaging.

Standardised profiling for tinnitus research: the European School for Interdisciplinary Tinnitus Research Screening Questionnaire (ESIT-SQ) (2019)
Journal Article

Background The heterogeneity of tinnitus is substantial. Its numerous pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical manifestations have hampered fundamental and treatment research significantly. A decade ago, the Tinnitus Research Initiative introduced...

Accelerated 19F·MRI Detection of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2/-9 through Responsive Deactivation of Paramagnetic Relaxation Enhancement (2019)
Journal Article

Paramagnetic gadolinium ions (Gd III), complexed within DOTA-based chelates, have become useful tools to increase the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast in tissues of interest. Recently, " on/off " probes serving as 19 F·MRI biosensor for targ...

Coordinate based meta-analysis of motor functional imaging in Parkinson's: disease-specific patterns and modulation by dopamine replacement and deep brain stimulation (2019)
Journal Article

Objective To investigate factors affecting the pattern of motor brain activation reported in people with Parkinson’s (PwP), aiming to differentiate disease-specific features from treatment effects. Methods A co-ordinate-based-meta-analysis (CBMA... Read More about Coordinate based meta-analysis of motor functional imaging in Parkinson's: disease-specific patterns and modulation by dopamine replacement and deep brain stimulation.

Anti-inflammatory potential of human corneal stroma-derived stem cells determined by a novel in vitro corneal epithelial injury model (2019)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND An in vitro injury model mimicking a corneal surface injury was optimised using human corneal epithelial cells (hCEC). AIM To investigate whether corneal-stroma derived stem cells (CSSC) seeded on an amniotic membrane (AM) construct m...

Effective chair training methods for neuroscience research involving rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 The Authors Background: Neuroscience research using macaques remains fundamental in our endeavours to understand how the human brain functions. Applying the refinement principle of the 3Rs is essential to optimise the monkeys’ welfare and stil...
