The willingness of patients presenting with advanced glaucoma to participate in a trial comparing primary medical vs primary surgical treatment (2011)
Journal Article
Leighton, P., Lonsdale, A. J., Tildsley, J., & King, A. J. (2012). The willingness of patients presenting with advanced glaucoma to participate in a trial comparing primary medical vs primary surgical treatment. Eye, 26(2), 300-306. doi:10.1038/eye.2011.279

Aim The aim of this study is to examine the attitudes of patients, who presented with advanced glaucoma in at least one eye, to participation in a randomised prospective trial comparing primary medical treatment with primary surgical treatment for a...

Activity of an antimicrobial hydrocephalus shunt catheter against Propionibacterium acnes (2010)
Journal Article
Bayston, R., Vera, L., & Ashraf, W. (2010). Activity of an antimicrobial hydrocephalus shunt catheter against Propionibacterium acnes. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 54(12), https://doi.org/10.1128/AAC.00540-10

Shunt infection is a major complication affecting approximately 10% of procedures. Propionibacterium acnes, an anaerobic skin bacterium, is increasingly recognized as a shunt pathogen, causing up to 14% of infections. Though susceptible to penicillin...

Relative impact of radiographic osteoarthritis and pain on quadriceps strength, proprioception, static postural sway and lower limb function (2005)
Journal Article
Hall, M. C., Mockett, S. P., & Doherty, M. (2006). Relative impact of radiographic osteoarthritis and pain on quadriceps strength, proprioception, static postural sway and lower limb function. Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 65(7), 865-870. https://doi.org/10.1136/ard.2005.043653

Objective: To investigate the relative impact of radiographic osteoarthritis (ROA) and current knee pain on lower limb physical function, quadriceps strength, knee joint proprioception, and postural sway. Methods: Using a 2×2 factorial design, 14...

Vascular endothelial growth factor induction by prostaglandin E2 in human airway smooth muscle cells is mediated by E prostanoid EP 2/EP4 receptors and SP-1 transcription factor binding sites (2005)
Journal Article
Bradbury, D., Clarke, D., Seedhouse, C., Corbettt, L., Stocks, J., & Knox, A. (2005). Vascular endothelial growth factor induction by prostaglandin E2 in human airway smooth muscle cells is mediated by E prostanoid EP 2/EP4 receptors and SP-1 transcription factor binding sites. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 280(34), 29993-30000. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M414530200

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) can increase vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) production but the mechanisms involved are unclear. Here we characterized the transcriptional mechanisms involved in human airway smooth muscle cells (HASMC). PGE2 inc...
