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...

Purpose To study the corneal nerves in patients with chronic bullous keratopathy. Design Prospective observational case series with histologic evaluation. Methods We studied 25 eyes of 25 bullous keratopathy patients of different etiol... Read More about Corneal Nerve Aberrations in Bullous Keratopathy.

Management of tinnitus in English NHS audiology departments: an evaluation of current practice (2010)
Journal Article
Hoare, D. J., Gander, P. E., Collins, L. C., Smith, S., & Hall, D. A. (2010). Management of tinnitus in English NHS audiology departments: an evaluation of current practice. Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, 18(2), https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2753.2010.01566.x

Rationale, aim and objective: In 2009, the UK Department of Health formalized recommended National Health Service practices for the management of tinnitus from primary care onwards. It is timely therefore to evaluate the perceived practicality, utili... Read More about Management of tinnitus in English NHS audiology departments: an evaluation of current practice.

Signalling pathways involved in ribonuclease-7 expression (2010)
Journal Article
Mohammed, I., Yeung, A., Abedin, A., Hopkinson, A., & Dua, H. S. (2011). Signalling pathways involved in ribonuclease-7 expression. Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 68(11), 1941-1952. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00018-010-0540-2

Antimicrobial peptides are host defence molecules that play a potential role in preventing infection at the epithelial surfaces. Ribonuclease (RNase)-7 has been shown to possess a broad spectrum of microbicidal activity against various pathogens. Her...

Influence of cellulose on ion diffusivity in 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium acetate cellulose solutions (2010)
Journal Article
Lovell, C. S., Walker, A., Damion, R. A., Radhi, A., Tanner, S. F., Budtova, T., & Ries, M. E. (2010). Influence of cellulose on ion diffusivity in 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium acetate cellulose solutions. Biomacromolecules, 11(11), 2927-2935. https://doi.org/10.1021/bm1006807

Solutions of microcrystalline cellulose in 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium acetate have been investigated using pulsedfield gradient 1H NMR. In all cases the geometrically larger cation was found to diffuse faster than the smaller anion. Arrhenius tempe...

Comparative transcriptional profiling of the limbal epithelial crypt demonstrates its putative stem cell niche characteristics (2010)
Journal Article
Kulkarni, B. B., Tighe, P. J., Mohammed, I., Yeung, A. M., Powe, D. G., Hopkinson, A., …Dua, H. S. (2010). Comparative transcriptional profiling of the limbal epithelial crypt demonstrates its putative stem cell niche characteristics. BMC Genomics, 11(1), Article 526. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2164-11-526

Background: The Limbal epithelial crypt (LEC) is a solid cord of cells, approximately 120 microns long. It arises from the undersurface of interpalisade rete ridges of the limbal palisades of Vogt and extends deeper into the limbal stroma parallel or...
