Creatinine and myoglobin are poor predictors of anaerobic threshold in colorectal cancer and health (2015)
Journal Article

Aims Myoglobin is a haem protein produced in skeletal muscles. Serum concentrations of myoglobin have been proposed as a surrogate marker of muscle mass and function in both cachectic cancer patients and healthy non-cancer individuals. Creatinine,...

Endocannabinoids modulate human blood-brain barrier permeability in vitro (2015)
Journal Article

Background and Purpose Endocannabinoids alter permeability at various epithelial barriers, and cannabinoid receptors and endocannabinoid levels are elevated by stroke, with potential neuroprotective effects. We therefore explored the role of endoc... Read More about Endocannabinoids modulate human blood-brain barrier permeability in vitro.

Intake of low-dose leucine-rich essential amino acids stimulates muscle anabolism equivalently to bolus whey protein in older women at rest and after exercise (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 American Physiological Society. All Rights Reseved. Dysregulated anabolic responses to nutrition/exercise may contribute to sarcopenia; however, these characteristics are poorly defined in female populations. We determined the effects of two f...

Assessing surgeon stress when operating using heart rate variability and the State Trait Anxiety Inventory: will surgery be the death of us? (2015)
Journal Article

Aim Performance in the operating room is affected by a combination of individual, patient and environmental factors amongst others. Stress has a potential negative impact on performance with the quality of surgical practice and patient safety bein...

Effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines on cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors in immune cells (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 The Authors. Aims: To investigate the regulation of cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 on immune cells by pro-inflammatory cytokines and its potential relevance to the inflammatory neurological disease, multiple sclerosis (MS). CB1 and CB2 sign... Read More about Effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines on cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors in immune cells.

The mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) in breast cancer: the impact of oestrogen receptor and HER2 pathways (2015)
Journal Article

The mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a downstream of the PI3K/Akt pathway which affects cancer development. mTORC1 has many downstream signalling effectors that can enhance different cellular responses. This study aims to investiga... Read More about The mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) in breast cancer: the impact of oestrogen receptor and HER2 pathways.

The impact of endometrioma and its surgical treatment on ovarian reserve and reproductive performance (2015)
Book Chapter

Endometriomas, which are commonly encountered in women presenting with subfertility, usually represent a dilemma to the Reproductive Specialist. Surgery remains the only effective treatment for endometriomas larger than three cm in diameter. National...

Laparoscopic ovarian drilling (2015)
Book Chapter

Laparoscopic ovarian drilling has been widely accepted as the second line of choice for induction of ovulation in CC-resistant PCOS women in preference to gonadotrophin therapy. In addition to its proven efficacy, LOD offers several advantages over g... Read More about Laparoscopic ovarian drilling.
