Analysis of factors that affect in vitro chemosensitivity of leukaemic stem and progenitor cells to gemtuzumab ozogamicin (Mylotarg) in acute myeloid leukaemia (2009)
Journal Article

Relapse in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is considered to result from the persistence of drug-resistant leukaemic stem and progenitor cells (LSPC) within a bone marrow ‘niche’ microenvironment. Identifying novel agents that have the potential to targ...

Case management for long-term conditions: Implementation and processes (2009)
Journal Article

This paper presents a structured literature review that focused on comprehensive case management by nurses for adults with long-term conditions living in the community. The emphases of the review are the implementation of case-management approaches,... Read More about Case management for long-term conditions: Implementation and processes.

Effect of telmisartan on functional outcome, recurrence, and blood pressure in patients with acute mild ischemic stroke: a PRoFESS subgroup analysis (2009)
Journal Article

Background and Purpose: High blood pressure (BP) is common in acute ischemic stroke and associated independently with a poor functional outcome. However, the management of BP acutely remains unclear because no large trials have been completed. Metho...

Hygiene and biosecurity: the language and politics of risk in an era of emerging infectious diseases (2009)
Journal Article

Infectious diseases, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and avian influenza, have recently been high on the agenda of policy makers and the public. Although hygiene and biosecurity are preferred options for disease management, policy...

Psychological interventions for reducing postoperative morbidity in dental surgery in adults (2009)
Journal Article

Exploring protein structural dissimilarity to facilitate structure classification (2009)
Journal Article

Background: Classification of newly resolved protein structures is important in understanding their architectural, evolutionary and functional relatedness to known protein structures. Among various efforts to improve the database of Structural Classi... Read More about Exploring protein structural dissimilarity to facilitate structure classification.

Symmetry Reduction and Exact Solutions in Twisted Noncommutative Gravity (2009)
Journal Article

We review the noncommutative gravity of Wess et al. and discuss its physical applications. We define noncommutative symmetry reduction and construct deformed symmetric solutions of the noncommutative Einstein equations. We apply our framework to find...

A facile method to clickable sensing polymeric nanoparticles (2009)
Journal Article

Clickable biocompatible nanoparticles were prepared in a one-pot process by microemulsion polymerization using acrylamide, N,N′-methylene bisacrylamide and either N-(11-azido-3,6,9-trioxaundecanyl)acrylamide or N-propargylacrylamide, which were then...

Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor in experimental stroke and its effects on infarct size and functional outcome: a systematic review (2009)
Journal Article

Background: Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) shows promise as a treatment for stroke. This systematic review assesses G-CSF in experimental ischaemic stroke. Methods: Relevant studies were identified with searches of Medline, Embase and...

Crohn's disease-associated adherent-invasive E. coli are selectively favoured by impaired autophagy to replicate intracellularly (2009)
Journal Article

Ileal lesions in Crohn's disease (CD) patients are colonized by pathogenic adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) able to invade and to replicate within intestinal epithelial cells. Recent genome-wide association studies have highlighted the autop...

Determination of material properties in the Chaboche unified viscoplasticity model (2009)
Journal Article

An experimental programme of cyclic mechanical testing of a 316 stainless steel, at temperatures up to 600°C, under isothermal conditions, for the identification of material constitutive constants, has been carried out using a thermo-mechanical fatig...

REFINE (Reducing Falls in In-patient Elderly): a randomised controlled trial (2009)
Journal Article

Background: Falls in hospitals are common, resulting in injury and anxiety to patients, and large costs to NHS organisations. More than half of all in-patient falls in elderly people in acute care settings occur at the bedside, during transfers or wh...

'City of London, City of Learning'? Placing business education within the geographies of finance (2009)
Journal Article

The role of highly skilled financiers in shaping the spatialities of financial systems has been widely studied by social scientists. However, comparatively less attention has been paid to the growing use of business education to (re)produce 'highly s... Read More about 'City of London, City of Learning'?
