The acute impact of a hematopoietic allograft on lung function and inflammation: a prospective observational study (2013)
Journal Article

Background: No studies have investigated the immediate impact of receiving an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) on pulmonary inflammation or lung function. Methods: Using a prospective study design, we quantified the changes in...

Maternal undernutrition does not alter Sertoli cell numbers or the expression of key developmental markers in the mid-gestation ovine fetal testis (2013)
Journal Article

Background The aim of this study was to determine the effects of maternal undernutrition on ovine fetal testis morphology and expression of relevant histological indicators. Maternal undernutrition, in sheep, has been reported, previously, to alte...

Cytocompatibility, degradation, mechanical property retention and ion release profiles for phosphate glass fibre reinforced composite rods (2013)
Journal Article

Fibre reinforced composites have recently received much attention as potential bone fracture fixation applications. Bioresorbable composites based on poly lactic acid (PLA) and phosphate based glass fibre were investigated according to ion release, d...

The topographic connectome (2013)
Journal Article

Central to macro-connectomics and much of systems neuroscience is the idea that we can summarise macroscopic brain connectivity using a network of ‘nodes’ and ‘edges’ — functionally distinct brain regions and the connections between them. This is an... Read More about The topographic connectome.

User needs elicitation via analytic hierarchy process (AHP): a case study on a Computed Tomography (CT) scanner (2013)
Journal Article

Background: The rigorous elicitation of user needs is a crucial step for both medical device design and purchasing. However, user needs elicitation is often based on qualitative methods whose findings can be difficult to integrate into medical decisi...
