Human cortical connectome reconstruction from diffusion weighted MRI: The effect of tractography algorithm (2012)
Journal Article
Bastiani, M., Shah, N. J., Goebel, R., & Roebroeck, A. (2012). Human cortical connectome reconstruction from diffusion weighted MRI: The effect of tractography algorithm. NeuroImage, 62(3), 1732-1749. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2012.06.002

Reconstructing the macroscopic human cortical connectome by Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) is a challenging research topic that has recently gained a lot of attention. In the present work, we investigate the effects of intra-voxel fiber direction m...

Paramagnetic 19F Chemical Shift Probes that Respond Selectively to Calcium or Citrate Levels and Signal Ester Hydrolysis (2012)
Journal Article
Harvey, P., Chalmers, K. H., De Luca, E., Mishra, A., & Parker, D. (2012). Paramagnetic 19F Chemical Shift Probes that Respond Selectively to Calcium or Citrate Levels and Signal Ester Hydrolysis. Chemistry - A European Journal, 18(28), 8748-8757. https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.201200737

Paramagnetic magnetic resonance chemical shift probes containing a proximal CF3 group have been characterised. Different systems have been created that report reversible changes in calcium ion concentrations in the millimolar regime, signal the prese...

Re-examining the evidence for a pitch-sensitive region: a human fMRI study using iterated ripple noise (2012)
Journal Article
Barker, D., Plack, C. J., & Hall, D. A. (2012). Re-examining the evidence for a pitch-sensitive region: a human fMRI study using iterated ripple noise. Cerebral Cortex, 22(4), https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhr065

Human neuroimaging studies have identified a region of auditory cortex, lateral Heschl’s gyrus (HG), that shows a greater response to iterated ripple noise (IRN) than to a Gaussian noise control. Based in part on results using IRN as a pitch-evoking... Read More about Re-examining the evidence for a pitch-sensitive region: a human fMRI study using iterated ripple noise.

Spin-lattice relaxation rates and water content of freeze-dried articular cartilage (2012)
Journal Article
Damion, R. A., Pawaskar, S. S., Ries, M. E., Ingham, E., Williams, S., Jin, Z., & Radjenovic, A. (2012). Spin-lattice relaxation rates and water content of freeze-dried articular cartilage. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 20(2), 184-190. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2011.12.005

Objective: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin-lattice relaxation rates were measured in bovine and porcine articular cartilage as a function of water content. Methods: Water content was varied by freeze-drying samples for short periods of time (up... Read More about Spin-lattice relaxation rates and water content of freeze-dried articular cartilage.

Corneal Densitometry as an Indicator of Corneal Health (2011)
Journal Article
Otri, A. M., Fares, U., Al-Aqaba, M. A., & Dua, H. S. (2012). Corneal Densitometry as an Indicator of Corneal Health. Ophthalmology: Journal of The American Academy of Ophthalmology, 119(3), 501-508. doi:10.1016/j.ophtha.2011.08.024

Purpose
To establish prospectively the normal values of corneal density of healthy subjects using the Pentacam Scheimpflug system (Oculus, Inc., Wetzlar, Germany) and to investigate alteration in corneal density during active and healed stages of ba...

Correlation of central and peripheral corneal thickness in healthy corneas (2011)
Journal Article
Fares, U., Otri, A. M., Al-Aqaba, M. A., & Dua, H. S. (2012). Correlation of central and peripheral corneal thickness in healthy corneas. Contact Lens and Anterior Eye, 35(1), 39-45. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clae.2011.07.004

Purpose
To study the thickness profile of the normal cornea in order to establish any correlation between central and peripheral points.

Methods
Sixty-seven eyes of 40 patients were subjected to central corneal thickness measurement (CCT) with a... Read More about Correlation of central and peripheral corneal thickness in healthy corneas.

Increased Expression of Hepcidin and Toll-Like Receptors 8 and 10 in Viral Keratitis (2011)
Journal Article
Mohammed, I., Abedin, A., Tsintzas, K., Abedin, S. A., Otri, A. M., Hopkinson, A., …Dua, H. S. (2011). Increased Expression of Hepcidin and Toll-Like Receptors 8 and 10 in Viral Keratitis. Cornea, 30(8), 899-904. https://doi.org/10.1097/ICO.0b013e31820126e5

Purpose:

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and toll-like receptors (TLRs) form part of the “chemical barrier” of the ocular surface to microbes. Evidence suggests that pathogen recognition by TLR releases AMPs, altering AMP-TLR profiles in pathologic...

Tinnitus referral pathways within the National Health Service in England: a survey of their perceived effectiveness among audiology staff (2011)
Journal Article
Gander, P. E., Hoare, D. J., Collins, L. C., Smith, S., & Hall, D. A. (2011). Tinnitus referral pathways within the National Health Service in England: a survey of their perceived effectiveness among audiology staff. BMC Health Services Research, 11(162), https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6963-11-162

Background: In the UK, audiology services deliver the majority of tinnitus patient care, but not all patients experience the same level of service. In 2009, the Department of Health released a Good Practice Guide to inform commissioners about key asp...
