Contrast‐enhanced ultrasound repeatability for the measurement of skeletal muscle microvascular blood flow (2023)
Journal Article

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can be used to directly assess skeletal muscle perfusion. However, its repeatability over time has not yet been validated and therefore its use in longitudinal measures (i.e., exploring the impact of a chronic inte...

Loss of muscle mass in the immediate post-operative period is associated with inadequate dietary protein and energy intake (2023)
Journal Article

Despite the implementation of ‘Enhanced Recovery After Surgery’ (ERAS) protocols, major abdominal surgery is still associated with significant and detrimental losses of muscle mass and function in the post-operative period. Although ERAS protocols ad... Read More about Loss of muscle mass in the immediate post-operative period is associated with inadequate dietary protein and energy intake.

Risk of liver fibrosis associated with long-term methotrexate therapy may be overestimated (2023)
Journal Article

Background & Aims: The risk of significant liver fibrosis from prolonged methotrexate (MTX) exposure has been estimated at around 5%, prompting intensive monitoring strategies. However, the evidence is derived from retrospective studies that under-re... Read More about Risk of liver fibrosis associated with long-term methotrexate therapy may be overestimated.

Chronic pain in people living with dementia: challenges to recognising and managing pain, and personalising intervention by phenotype (2023)
Journal Article

Pain is common in people with dementia, and pain can exacerbate the behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia. Effective pain management is challenging, not least in people with dementia. Impairments of cognition, communication and abstract...

Comparative efficacy of exercise therapy and oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and paracetamol for knee or hip osteoarthritis: a network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (2023)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVE: Clinical guidelines recommend exercise as a core treatment for knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA). However, how its analgesic effect compares to analgesics, for example, oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and paracetamol-the...

Reproducible microbiome composition signatures of anxiety and depressive symptoms (2023)
Journal Article

The gut microbiome is a significant contributor to mental health, with growing evidence linking its composition to anxiety and depressive disorders. Gut microbiome composition is associated with signs of anxiety and depression both in clinically diag...

Does covid-19 impair endogenous neurogenesis? (2022)
Journal Article

Endogenous neural stem cells are thought to continue to generate new neurons throughout life in the human brain. Endogenous neurogenesis has been proposed to contribute to physiological roles in maintaining and regenerating olfaction, as well as prom...

Perspective: Leveraging the Gut Microbiota to Predict Personalized Responses to Dietary, Prebiotic, and Probiotic Interventions (2022)
Journal Article

Humans often show variable responses to dietary, prebiotic, and probiotic interventions. Emerging evidence indicates that the gut microbiota is a key determinant for this population heterogeneity. Here, we provide an overview of some of the major com...

Comparison of apnoeic oxygen techniques in term pregnant subjects: a computational modelling study (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Hypoxaemia during general anaesthesia can cause harm. Apnoeic oxygenation extends safe apnoea time, reducing risk during airway management. We hypothesised that low-flow nasal oxygenation (LFNO) would extend safe apnoea time similarly to...

Gut dysbiosis in rheumatic diseases: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 92 observational studies (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that dysbiosis in gut microbiota may contribute to the occurrence or development of several rheumatic diseases. Since gut microbiota dysbiosis is potentially modifiable, it has been postulated to be a promising...
